As we fast approach the dates of our Gathering I want to warn everyone of two things. First, registration will close very soon on the 25th of this month, just 5 days from now. This is to allow for things to be finalized.

Additionally, I'm told that anyone who hasn't already booked tickets for the Missouri River Runner on Saturday had best hurry. There are only 2 BC seats left at last count. So if you don't already have your tickets, you had best hurry or you could be left out.

FYI - I may drop out of the MORR run. I have a RT low bucket ticket that I'll sell to the 'highest bidder"! (Just kidding!) Just PM me if you need it! I could cancel it, but I rather it go to someone on AU!

Interests:I like riding trains, in First Class, Sleeper, or Coach. (If just a short jaunt) I expect courteous service, equipment that works, arriving close to "on time", & clean windows. Is that too much to ask for?

There's an Octoberfest in Hermann (along the route) that day! Thus the train will be full.

Perhaps someone needs to watch our group to see how many get off the MORRto particapate in the Octoberfest instead of going to Kansas City!!

They dont have to go all that way to get drunk! The Flyer talk wierdos, er group is having a do in St. Louis and they are touring the Budweiser Brewery which is Free and does have beer !!(Or so I've been told! )

Wait a minute........you may be on to something here..........

But then, I must ask myself, "What is the purpose of my attending this AU meeting"? I can go to a silly OctoberFest any ole October, in virtually any state.

What I can't do any ole day, is hang out in person with the likes of Big Hoss Saxman, Dieseldorf, Alan-The-Admin, Mr. & Mrs. MrFFFF, The Wacky-Wolverine, Micah-The-Great, Team-Fez, I mean Team-Whooz, Arrrrgh!, William-The-Great-Historian-Haithcoat, EveryDayDoesMatter, OriginalAnthony, Rafi-The-Resource, and maybe even some LongTrainsRunning......

Of course legions more will be in attendance, and I look forward to rubbing shoulders with them too.
